RE above video.
Guy on right is a lawyer.
Registration is a hobby.
He plays too.

No connection I realize, but I learned as an apprentice in NYC, to wire pipe organs under the tutelage of of a guy who did it as a hobby. He was meticulous. His "day job" was as a cartographer at Time Magazine.

Having spent an afternoon there, St. Sulpice is an amazing instrument in its complexity and its status. It pretty much sounds like it did when Cavaille-Coll built it. The registrants are necessary when one plays anything that takes a lot of registration changes
Also, Pierre-Francois (the guy on the right in the top video) is a lovely fellow. One will find him there anytime a concert is played or even on Sundays. Mssr. Roth is generous with the organ and though I find him not necessarily disposed toward my interest in Tournemire, he is gracious. It is worth anyone's visit if they are in Paris. St. Sulpice itself is a quite an amazing church also, though the liturgy is pretty wretched. So just go for the organ and the space. -
Tournemire is an acquired taste. I like him, but don't subject the congregation to him often. They don't like his works. Occasionally, I can slip one of the shorter pieces in and they don't notice so much.

Hard not to be reminded of the Christmas Island crab migration.
